Using iPhone 3G as iPod Touch?

I'm sure this has been covered a million times before, but I just dug out my old iPhone 3G to use as an iPod at work. Restored and set it up as a new phone and all seems well--No Service, wifi works, etc. BUT the question I have is this: because it still has my old AT&T SIM card, it shows my phone number in the settings and in iTunes (when connected). I use that number with my new phone, of course.

Is this a problem? Basically I just don't want someone to swipe it and then be able to activate it to use with my number.

No the sim is not active if you put another sim in it would show that number ..

That's kind of what I assumed, it just seems weird that the number still shows up if it's in use on another phone. Thanks.
